But he made clear that he thinks Mukasey has earned a contempt citation and that he'd schedule a vote on the matter soon.<br /><br />Loved Ones…<em><strong>do you think Dick Cheney would hesitate to have an operative of the Republican party neutralize Henry Waxman...radiation caused cancer?</strong></em><br /><br />Loved Ones…<em><strong>one of those directly involved in disseminating these frightening public announcements just died of cancer…White House spokesman Tony Snow at age 53</strong></em>….what do you think?<br /><br />"This unfounded assertion of executive privilege does not protect a principle; it protects a person," <br /><br /><strong>Waxman said. "If the vice president did nothing wrong, what is there to hide?"</strong><br /><br />The assertion of the privilege is not about hiding anything but rather protecting the separation of powers as well as the integrity of future Justice Department investigations of the White House, Mukasey wrote to Bush in a letter dated Tuesday.<br /><br /> Several of the subpoenaed reports, he wrote, summarize conversations between Bush and advisers — are direct presidential communications protected by the privilege.<br />"I am greatly concerned about the chilling effect that compliance with the committee's subpoena would have on future White House deliberations and White House cooperation with future Justice Department investigations," Mukasey wrote to Bush. "I believe it is legally permissible for you to assert executive privilege with respect to the subpoenaed documents, and I respectfully request that you do so."<br /><br />The new White House spokesman Tony Fratto said Bush invoked the privilege on Tuesday.<br />Waxman said he would wait to hold a vote on Mukasey's contempt citation until all members of the panel had a chance to read up on the matter.<br /><br />The Bush administration had plenty of warning. Waxman warned last week that he would cite Mukasey with contempt unless the attorney general complied with the subpoena. The House Judiciary Committee also has subpoenaed some of the same documents from Mukasey, as well as information on the leak from other current and former administration officials.<br /><br /><em><strong>Congressional Democrats want to shed light on the precise roles, if any, that Bush, Cheney and their aides may have played in the leak….the leak…the extortion of American values for political control…</strong></em><br /><br />State Department official Richard Armitage first revealed Plame's identity as a CIA operative to columnist Robert Novak, who used former presidential counselor Karl Rove as a confirming source for a 2003 article.<br /><br /> <em><strong>Around that time Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, was criticizing Bush's march to war in Iraq.</strong></em><br /><br /><strong>Cheney's then-chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, also was involved in the leak and was convicted of perjury, obstruction and lying to the FBI. </strong><br /><br />Last July, <strong>Bush commuted Libby's 2 1/2-year sentence, sparing him from serving any prison time</strong>.<br /><br /><em><strong>Libby told the FBI in 2003 that it was possible that Cheney ordered him to reveal Plame's identity to reporters.</strong></em><br /><br />Loved Ones…do you think what is broadcast thru your cable into your living room is fair and honest…<br /><br /><strong>do you believe that Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney and Carl Rove are putting you and all your loved ones in a position of fear… a position of threat….for political control….they are.</strong><br /><br />At this time I petition for the White Light of the Holy Spirit to surround and enclose all persons within the borders of our country…that we all learn our lessons with the least amount of pain…<strong>also I petition that when national domestic security becomes so bad all of our infants and children are at risk that the honorable Jesse Ventura step up and volunteers to lead this country back to our original values of strength and honesty…</strong>.I petition and ask that in the name of Mother and Father God.<br /><br />You and all your loved ones are always in my prayers,<br />Samuel Joseph Bell<br />www.angelicinfusion.comSamuel Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09298532266546345292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11792773.post-52426854368234494832007-05-07T20:08:00.000-07:002007-05-07T20:10:35.828-07:00Hector R. has graduated and gone homeLoved Ones…this morning a special friend graduated and went to the Other Side…Hector R.…at this time I petition for Hector and all his loved ones to be surrounded with the White Light of the Holy Spirit…<br /><br />I petition for the White Light…the Light of Unconditional Love to be above them…below them…in front of them and behind them…I petition for this Light of Unconditional Love …the Love of Our Lord Jesus the Christ to be to the right of them and all that is left of them…I petition and ask that in the name of Mother and Father God.<br /><br />Loved Ones…Hector was a loving father and a loving grandfather and a loving great grandfather….Hector R. is a most loving man…a light being who now is in the presence of our Divine Parents….<br /><br />Hector was also a volunteer…he helped those in need with his style of unconditional love…Hector R. was and is a most wonderful and loving man…<br /><br />Loved ones please say a prayer for all Hectors’ loved ones…that they all learn their lessons with the least amount of pain…Samuel Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09298532266546345292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11792773.post-46524003366547522172007-01-21T16:23:00.000-08:002007-01-21T16:24:06.795-08:00why bush creates a civil war in IraqLoved Ones… the figurehead of the United States…and for the Republican Agenda gwbush stated yesterday…with polished delivery…."The situation on the ground remains tense. In the face of continued reports about killings and reprisals, I understand how some Americans have had their confidence shaken," speaking clearly he continued, "They wonder what I see that they don't."….<br /><br />Loved Ones…some history may be of interest now…. British and American history 1942-1945…. not too long ago…. at the conclusion of WW Two…. the Americans and the British and the Russians were allies…We 3 were fighting the Nazis in Europe<br /><br />We three countries were grinding and gradually defeating the powerful German Nazi forces…. pushing them back …as the Americans and British armies pushed back and closed the Military Noose around the retreating German Forces … the Americans and British also armed the growing Underground Resistance…. also while distancing themselves from Russia’s advancing armies…the Russians had lost over 7 million at this point and were focused on attacking Berlin to stop Hitler…<br /><br />The American and British Command provided the French Resistance fighters and other resistance fighters on the ground with thousands of small arms…ammunitions…. automatic weapons…. demolitions …training for the demolitions targeting public transportation…. and in addition to providing the Improvised Explosive Devices (IED)…we/british and americans provided the materials and the training combined with very specialized covert countermeasures intelligence. …Utilized to manipulate/set-up the resistance fighters…<br /><br />Allied Command told them to hold off…Ordered them to sit tight and wait for the signal …a song to be played over the Media/Radio…get ready…be prepared…and wait for the signal.<br /><br />The British and American Commands both gave very direct orders to the Resistance. (Mostly communist sympathizers…not inclined to support a post war British/American Agenda) to sit tight and be prepared... any resistance fighter not going along with the plan got turned in by british countermeasures agents to the Gestapo who quickly made the uncooperative resistance fighter an example…<br /><br />This strategic maneuver worked well as planned…. for the post WW Two British and Americans…<br /><br /> They made the communists become more easily controllable while the British and American allied forces slowly backed up and maneuvered the powerful retreating Germans into the resistance fighters back yards…very deliberately and specifically crowding them into small localized areas …and then the British and American Forces stopped advancing and encircled both the Germans and the Resistance…. then giving the Radio signal and standing back by while the Germans quickly eliminated all the Communists…. clearing the way for the post war Europe.<br /><br />Specific areas where the remaining comparatively super powered German Army would be forced to easily kill ALL THE REMAINING COMMUNIST and RUSSIIAN SYMPYTHIZERS…<br /><br />In other words the British and the Americans planned from the beginning …taking the long view and looking at post war Europe…<br /><br />So for the British and the Americans the best way to insure the Resistance/and any potential opposition to them …… were ALL Killed was the crowding of the Germans into the resistance areas and then to HOLD OFF ALL ALLIED HELP till the resistance was quickly destroyed by the very powerful German war machine…<br /><br />No match for small arms ….the Resistance got efficiently slaughtered after they got the signal over the Radio/media broadcast…. while British and American Armies deliberately stood by…<br /><br />British and American soldiers stood by waiting for all the dirty work to be done efficiently…not much different for Iraq and the civil war happing today….<br /><br />The civil war today in Iraq….after 3 years and 100,000 Iraqis killed …. After we “Liberated the Iraqis”…we arm our ‘resistance’ then stand back and watch the civil war take out the Iraqi people not supportive of the Republican Oil Agenda…<br /><br />Iraqis eliminate themselves as we “STAND DOWN AS THEY STAND UP”<br /><br />Loved ones…at this time I petition for all participants in all middle east conflicts to cease harming one another…as communicated in the Old Testament,” Vengeance is mine; I will repay saith the Lord; Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink…Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”<br /><br />I petition for the White Light of the Holy Spirit to enclose all our brothers and sisters in the Middle East…I petition and ask that in Mother God’s Name.Samuel Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09298532266546345292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11792773.post-1157047408724666462006-08-31T10:54:00.000-07:002006-08-31T11:28:06.650-07:00Functional Communications Blockades in AmericaLoved Ones…the kidnappers of American, Steve Centanni and New Zealander, Olaf Wiig…separated them… and when they were separate and alone the kidnappers told Olaf, <strong>"Unfortunately for you, you were with an American."</strong><br /><br />They were <em><strong>apologizing </strong></em>to this New Zealander for taking him…<strong>they knew the small beautiful country he came from was in fact and in reality an ethical group of peoples</strong>…unlike the United States of America…<br /><br />Loved Ones did you know the Islamic World does not consider New Zealand a terrorist threat to them? Why is that? Because they are not! New Zealand knows how to treat its own citizens and as a result of that also treats other citizens in the same fashion… “Do not do unto others what you would not want done to yourself”<br /><br />Loved Ones…both Mr. Centanni and Mr. Wiig did in fact convert while in captivity…<br /><br />This morning on K.T.V.U. CHANNEL2 …on the San Francisco Bay area news…Steve Centanni was able to speak live and unedited (an unusual event)…<strong>Steve stated he did in fact convert to Islam and had a deep respect for his captors </strong>all the while the moving strip of words across the bottom of the screen said he did not convert…. (ktvu is a FOX owned station…another front organization for the republican oil agenda and it’s multitude of wealthy contractors)<br /><br />Loved Ones the truth of the matter is…one of the primary ways American Intelligence agencies work is to “incorporate” all information gathering agencies as their own involuntary covert people…<strong>without letting those at risk know they are in fact being handled by contractors </strong>of the CIA…so for example if they get captured and tortured they can in NO WAY disclose the real origin or the real reasons for their assignment…nor can they reveal their handlers (because they do not know nor ever new who they really were)…it is much safer to use an unsuspecting person because they will be the best at truly acting innocent…because from their perspective they really are…they do not know who their ultimate handlers are…or what their ultimate handlers agenda is….please recognize all communications via air conduction or electronic means are monitored “if you are an individual of interest.”<br /><br />…So for you, me and Steve to be used by the N.S.A. /CIA is not a big challenge for the American Political System…and you and I and Steve Centanni pay for it…and will continue to pay for it for the rest of our lives…spiritually and financially we are paying right now and will continue to pay…<br /><br /><strong>Loved Ones…today in the United States all of us are becoming “terrorists” to the Middle East…you and I are being lumped into this big mess just like innocent Steve Centanni was…</strong><br /><br />That is how America and England efficiently manipulate global politics and you…. <br /><br />New Zealand cameraman Olaf Wiig has revealed his captors took him hostage because he was “with an American who they believed was a CIA spy”. <br /><br />Olaf reported after his release that, "They believed he (Centanni) was CIA, FBI, an informer for the IDF (Israel Defence Forces), that he was there as a spy, an American soldier in Iraq,". <br /><br /><strong>Loved Ones the kidnappers believed that because Centanni was very much a covert informer…. Although he was completely in the dark about it…Steve Centanni was caught in a “black” operation…. </strong><br /><br />The N.S.A. much prefers to sacrifice/put a risk innocent Americans rather than its own in-house professionals…. “They will make more”…<br /><br />Those presently deriving their extreme incomes for the advanced countermeasures targeting of the “terrorists” as labeled by the Republican Oil Agenda all know these 5 truths….<br /><br />1.The greatest majority of interception devices, interception techniques and distant controlled spies …that have been found …have been discovered as the result of a good physical search or by accident.<br /><br />2.Knowledgable Personnel pose the biggest threat to security of a “black” operation…<br /><br />3. People in our culture love to gossip and love to make an impression on other people with what they know…<br /><br />4. A true expert in the Spy trade will only utilize electronic shadowing after a though investigation of the target and a good deal careful preparation and groundwork…<br /><br />5. The successful black operation contractor will always try to find a person that has admission to the desired information and make the most of this asset before resorting to any additional electronic shadowing….<br /><br />An example of not following these 5 countermeasures guidelines was the Watergate incident, which resulted with Nixon being neutralized…which pissed off a handful of Republican Oil Billionaires…who then "neutralized" the Host of the TODAY SHOW, Frank McGee, because he participated in blowing their cover and was a strategic threat to the Republican communications blockades...Loved Ones these oil billionaires will not repeat that error again….<br /><br />Loved Ones…while being held captive (and fearing for his life) the Man from New Zealand defended and protected his friend and associate…the American…yes while he was at risk he stuck his neck out (in front of those who in fact behead prisoners) and protected his associate…a most brave and honorable act…a New Zealander protecting an American…<br /><br />Loved Ones…<strong>make a special note that gwbush did not extend any thank you to Olaf….as he is a New Zealander and considered “the enemy” by the American Republican Party…Rumsfeld, Chaney and Rove</strong>...did you know that Loved Ones? <br /><br />At this time I petition for the White Light of the Holy Spirit to enclose Olaf and Steve and all their loved Ones…. also I petition for those fine individuals who reside in the land where ethical living is common New Zealand …and also the Holy Jihad Brigade …I petition that <strong>they all </strong>are protected from hostility by the United States and assault from contractors of the Republican Oil Agenda…I petition and ask that in the Name of Mother and Father God.Samuel Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09298532266546345292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11792773.post-1155395923650491182006-08-12T08:15:00.000-07:002006-08-12T08:18:43.660-07:00White Light all participants in U.N.

We demand that the Israeli government immediately halt its attacks on Lebanon. We join with the Israeli peace movement (and the thousands of Israelis who demonstrated against this war in Tel Aviv July 22, 2006) in their insistence that these attacks are utterly disproportionate to the initial provocation by Hezbollah, have killed innumerable innocent civilians, displaced half a million people, have destroyed billions of dollars of Lebanon's infrastructure, and will not, in the long run, secure peace or security for Israel. We also call on the Israeli government to supply food, electricity, water and funds to repair the humanitarian crisis caused by its invasion of Gaza. By endorsing Israel's attacks, and explicitly giving it time to do more damage to the people of Lebanon, the U.S. government became party to this violence, which, together with American military actions in Iraq, are sure to create enmity towards the U.S. and Israel in the Muslim world for generations to come. <br /><br />2. We demand that Hezbollah and Hamas immediately stop shelling or otherwise engaging in violence against Israel. These actions, which have killed numerous Israeli civilians, terrorized the people of Israel and destroyed many cities, played a central role in provoking the current crisis, and do nothing but harm the cause of Palestinian and Lebanese independence and democracy. It is this kind of violence which has over the years pushed many decent Israelis into the hands of its most militaristic and paranoid political leaders. <br /><br />3. We demand that the U.S. government, and governments around the world, call on Israel, Hezbollah and Hamas to observe an immediate cease-fire, place an immediate embargo on all shipments of weapons to all parties in the war (including Syria and Iran), and join an international conference to provide security on the border between Israel and Lebanon. <br /><br />These are the minimum steps necessary to stop the violence and the humanitarian disaster in southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. But alone they will not ensure that the region doesn’t return to an untenable status quo which will again eventually break into violence and new rounds of warfare. <br /><br />We therefore also issue: <br /><br />A call for Lasting Peace <br /><br />We call upon the international community to hold an International Peace Conference to impose a fair and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and to the conflict between Israel and other states in the region. Why do we say “impose”? There are too many forces in each country in the region who are committed to continuing this struggle forever. Their provocations will continue until the international community stops the violence once and for all and imposes conditions of peace that will allow the peace and reconciliation forces in each country to flourish. <br />Such a solution would be based on the following conditions: <br /><br />a. The creation of an economically and politically viable Palestinian state (roughly on the pre-1967 borders with minor border modifications mutually agreed upon between Israel and Palestine); and simultaneously the full and unequivocal recognition by Palestinians and the State of Palestine and all surrounding Arab states of the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state offering full and equal rights to all of its non-Jewish citizens. <br /><br />b. An international consortium to provide reparations for Palestinians who have lost home or property from 1947 to the present and reparations for Jewish refugees from Arab states from 1947-1967; <br /><br />c. A long term international peacekeeping force to separate Hezbollah and Israel in southern Lebanon and to protect Israel and Palestine from each other and from other forces in the region who might seek to control or destroy either state; <br /><br />d. The quick imposition of robust sanctions against any party that refuses to sign or violates these agreements. <br /><br />A New Spirit of Open-Heartedness and Reconciliation <br /><br />We know that no political solution can work without a change of consciousness that minimally includes an open-heartedness and willingness to recognize the humanity of the Other, and to repent and atone for the long history of insensitivity and cruelty to the other side. <br /><br />Both sides must take immediate steps to stop the discourse of violence and demeaning of the other in their media, their religious institutions, and their school text books and educational systems. They should implement this by creating a joint authority with each other and with moral leaders in the international community who can supervise and if necessary replace those in positions of power in both societies who continue to use public institutions in their respective societies to spread hatred or nurture anger at the other. <br /><br />Once the other parts of a lasting peace have been set in place, we call upon the parties to this struggle to launch a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, following the model used in South Africa. <br /><br />Use This Moment to Challenge the Paranoid and Cynical “Political Realism” That Generates Endless Wars <br /><br />The paranoid and allegedly “realistic” version of global politics asserts that we live in a world in which our safety can only be achieved through domination—or others will seek to dominate us first. Of course, when we act on this assumption, it becomes self-fulfilling. <br /><br />We propose, instead, a strategy of generosity—to act on the assumption that people have an enormous capacity for goodness and generosity (without negating the truth that certain conditions promote fear, anger and hatred which sometimes get expressed in horribly destructive ways). For the U.S. and other G8 countries, we call for a Global Marshall Plan: For each of the next twenty years, the U.S. and other G8 countries should dedicate 5% of their Gross Domestic Product to eliminating global (and domestic) hunger, homelessness, poverty, inadequate health care and inadequate education for the peoples of the world. This would have to be carefully monitored and apportioned in ways that ensure the care reaches the people for whom it was intended. But what is critical is the spirit in which it is done. <br /><br />Similarly, we urge Israel to not only return to its 1967 borders (with minor border modifications mutually agreed upon including a sharing of Jerusalem and of its holy sites) but to do so in a spirit of generosity and caring for the other before it is forced to return to those borders by the international community and before thousands more young Israelis and Palestinians die in these senseless wars that will otherwise continue in the coming years. <br /><br />The only protection that we in the advanced industrial countries of the world can ever really have for our lives is to spread a spirit of love so powerful and genuine that it becomes capable of reducing the anger that has justifiably developed against the powerful and the wealthy of the world. <br /><br />The “cynical realists” claim that others are entrenched in their hatred, and that war and domination is the only way to battle them. This kind of thinking has led to five thousand years of people fighting wars in order to “end all wars”—and it has not worked. It’s time now to try a new strategy of generosity, both economic generosity and generosity of spirit. As stated above, there will first have to be a transitional period in which real military protections are available to people on all sides of the struggle. But by beginning now to simultaneously commit our economic resources and change the way that we talk about those who we previously designated as “enemies,” we can begin the long process of thawing out angers that have existed for many generations. <br /><br />Nothing can redeem the death and suffering that all sides have faced in this struggle for the past 120 years. But this very moment could be the time in which the human race realizes the futility of violence and comes together not only to impose a lasting solution for the Middle East, but to begin a new era and recognize that our own well-being depends on the well-being of everyone else on the planet. The International Middle East Peace Conference should be structured to achieve this end—which means it should have an explicit psychological and spiritual dimension and a visionary agenda. <br /><br />We affirm the Sacredness of All Human Beings. This is the moment to begin to make that real. The UN raised these possibilities 61 years ago, but relied on political arrangements and fell into politicizing every issue. We need to strengthen international institutions that move in a new direction, but we also need a commitment of the heart from everyone on the planet. Our own countries must take the lead in a whole new approach to security and well-being. This may be the last chance we in the advanced industrial societies have to avoid international catastrophe by modeling something else besides brute power, military might, and indifference to the well-being of others. If not now, when? <br /><br />Unrealistic? Nope. What has proved unrealistic time and again—whether we are talking about US policy in Vietnam and Iraq or Israeli and Arab policies in the Middle East—is the fantasy that one more war will put an end to wars. The path to peace must be a path of peace. <br />Religious and spiritual leaders are also making a global call for ten days of prayer and fasting toward the aim of peace, reconciliation, and ending violence, beginning July 27th and continuing through August 6th.Samuel Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09298532266546345292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11792773.post-1147459121798402182006-05-12T11:36:00.000-07:002006-05-12T11:38:41.810-07:00Psychicastronaut BonoLoved ones… surround the psychicastronaut Bono in a bubble of unconditional love and protection…<br /><br />As the spiritual entity incarnated and known as Bono is beginning another global healing… <br /><br />…more of his unconditional love efforts concerning those specific neediest areas of Lesotho, Rwanda, Tanzania, Nigeria, Mali and Ghana…. <br /><br />To invest his <strong>spiritual will power,</strong> empowering his innate <strong>spiritual ability to focus </strong>and his <strong>ability to resonate with unconditional love…</strong><br /><br /><strong>he reaches up and THEY reach down…</strong><br /><br />Bono helping his brothers and sisters in their struggle against poverty and illness as we each choose to incarnate on this planet at this time….

Cheney said inspectors "missed a great deal." They didn't find out about Saddam's development of a deadly chemical and he tested missiles "almost literally under the noses" of the inspectors, he said.<br />As he did in Nashville Monday, Cheney pledged that President Bush will "proceed with care, deliberation and in consultation" with allies and Congress.<br />At a Republican fundraiser in Oklahoma City, Bush didn't mention Iraq. "We must not allow the world's worst leaders to develop the world's worst weapon," he said. "By being tough and strong, patient, smart and wise ... we can make the world more peaceful for generations to come."<br />Cheney's assertions have been greeted skeptically by world and congressional leaders. French President Jacques Chirac said Thursday before Cheney's speech that he's concerned about a "temptation to seek to legitimize the use of unilateral and pre-emptive force."<br />German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, who opposes a U.S. attack on Iraq, said Bush must do more than notify allies of his intentions. "If consultations are meant seriously, they must not just be about the how and the when, but also on the question of whether this is done at all," he said.<br />Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Russ Feingold, D-Wis., joined the chorus of lawmakers who say Bush should get Congress's authorization before an attack. "That is what the Constitution prescribes, and that is what the American people expect," Leahy said. <br /><br /><br />Rove speaks out on Bush's win <br />By Jim Drinkard, USA TODAY<br />WASHINGTON — President Bush "absolutely" will use his second term to push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, his top political strategist said Sunday. Karl Rove, who oversaw Bush's re-election victory, said Bush will renew the effort, which failed in Congress this year but may enjoy new support after 11 states approved bans on same-sex marriage on Election Day.<br /><br /> <br />Five thousand years of human history should not be overthrown by the acts of a few liberal judges or by the acts of a few local elected officials," Rove said on NBC's Meet the Press. "Marriage is and should be defined as being between one man and one woman." He made similar comments on Fox News Sunday.<br />Rove said that evangelical Christians, part of Bush's conservative base, were key to the president's narrow win over Democratic Sen. John Kerry. But he said national security loomed larger in voters' minds than questions of moral values. "People became concerned about three issues. First, the war. Then the economy, jobs and taxes. And third, moral values. And then everything else dropped off of the plate," Rove said on NBC.<br />"The country is still close, but it has moved in a Republican direction, and this election confirmed that," Rove said on NBC.<br />Rove, 53, usually stays behind the scenes at the White House. But Sunday, after the victory for which Bush hailed him as "the architect," he made the rounds of talk shows. <br />If Bush is called on to fill vacancies on the Supreme Court, Rove said, "he's not going to have a litmus test" for how the nominees stand on abortion. Rather, Bush will name "impartial umpires who strictly interpret the Constitution and apply it," he said.<br />Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, in comments last week, noted that Senate Democrats have staged filibusters to block confirmation votes on federal judge nominees who oppose abortion and most likely would do so again. "I would expect the president to be mindful" of that, he said. Some GOP conservatives took that as a warning that Specter would keep such nominations from a vote and said Specter should be denied the chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which he is in line to assume next year. <br />Specter pointed out Sunday that he had supported all of Bush's nominees, regardless of their positions on abortion. "Although I am pro-choice, I have supported many pro-life nominees," he said on the CBS program Face the Nation. <br />Rove said Specter has pledged to hold hearings quickly on any Bush appointments and bring them to a vote: "Sen. Specter's a man of his word. We'll take him at his word." <br />He said the president's 3.5 million-vote margin over Kerry amounts to a mandate "to do in office what you said you would do on the campaign trail." He said that from near-deadlock four years ago, the nation has moved to a 51%-48% Republican tilt, and he noted that the GOP gained seats in both houses of Congress. <br />Rove named other priorities for Bush's second term: <br />•Simplifying the tax code. Bush wants to open a national debate about the income tax, which Rove said the president views as "a mess" because it is complicated and fraught with loopholes.<br />Among proposals are making the tax code simpler or replacing it with a national sales tax or some other tax. But any major overhaul would create winners and losers, and that will mean opposition. Democrat Barack Obama, who won election as a senator from Illinois last week, said on Meet the Press that he would "absolutely resist" any change that puts more of the tax burden on the middle class. <br />•Revamping Social Security. The president has proposed a system that would allow younger workers to invest part of their payroll taxes in stocks, bonds or other investments, but doing so would create a $2 trillion short-term hole in the system's finances.<br />"We need ... to deal with this problem before it becomes too large that it swamps our children and grandchildren," Rove said.<br />•Limiting lawsuits. Rove said excessive litigation imposes a structural burden on the economy that makes it difficult for U.S. businesses to compete globally. Putting limits on legal damage awards would be a step toward improving U.S. competitiveness, he said.<br />Looking back on the campaign, Rove laughed when asked about Kerry's comment that he (Kerry) had voted for $87 billion in Iraq war spending before he voted against it, a remark that fed into Bush's contention that Kerry was a flip-flopper. The Bush campaign turned the remark into a TV ad. "It's the gift that kept on giving," Rove said on the Fox program.<br />He also described a darker moment, when he first heard data from Election Day surveys of voters on Tuesday aboard Air Force One as it neared Washington.<br />Those exit polls showed Bush far behind in some battleground states, and only 1 percentage point ahead in Virginia, a state that should have been safe for the president. Rove said he was "almost physically ill" when he heard the numbers, but then grew angry as he studied them more closely.<br />"You looked at these numbers, and you realize, this is just insane," he said. As the day wore on, the campaign took comfort from watching returns from the outer suburbs of cities in Ohio and Florida, which went strongly for Bush and proved the key to his victory.<br />Rove said he also hopes the election will contribute to long-term GOP domination of U.S. politics.<br />"There are no permanent majorities in U.S. politics," he said, but there are periods of several decades where one party rules. "Would I like to see the Republican Party be the dominant party for whatever time history gives it the chance to be? You bet."<br />Loved Ones…Carl did a job didn’t he…right now 61% of Americans say they do not trust g.w. and big dick is shredding everything in sight…today for the first time in years…Carl Rove is NOT STANDING DIRECTLY BEHIND G.W….g.w. is “alone” in South America…the noose tightens…Samuel Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09298532266546345292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11792773.post-1130810401677930242005-10-31T17:53:00.000-08:002005-10-31T18:00:01.710-08:00dirt on white houseLoved Ones…today the TV spewed it contents out like a squashed bug…messy stuff about<br /><br /> <strong>“why should the prez g.w…wasn’t upset about big dicks chief of staff…and his treasonous acts…placing all Americans at risk of wmd by outing one of the few expert deep cover wmd agents…brave American real hero helping protect you and me…and our children… Why g.w. ?</strong><br /><br /><strong>Why Was our president not righteously angry…outing a cia agent?…. </strong><br /><br />putting the message out to all cia deep cover agents they too can be exposed/neutralized/have murdered…. <br /><br />if they dare inhibit the republican organization and its contractors…<br /><br />Loved ones read these words directly from the White House home page….<br />10/31/05 2:43 P.M. EST <br />MR. MCCLELLAN: Good afternoon, everyone. I want to update you on the President's schedule, first of all. The President is meeting right about now with Burmese activist Charm Tong, a 23-year-old woman who has dedicated her life to helping those who suffer under the military rule in Rangoon, and to exposing the regime's abuses, particularly against women. The President is pleased to welcome such a courageous and compassionate woman to the White House, and I know he's been looking forward to that meeting since it was scheduled earlier this morning. <br />Q Spelling? <br />MR. McCLELLAN: I'm sorry? <br />Q The spelling? <br />MR. McCLELLAN: Charm, just like it sounds. And then Tong, T-o-n-g. <br />The President was pleased to announce Judge Alito to be his nominee to our nation's highest court. Judge Alito has a distinguished record of service. He is one of the nation's most respected and accomplished judges. <br />Judge Alito has extensive experience. He served 15 years on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. He has more prior judicial experience than any Supreme Court nominee in the past 70 years. He has served 29 years as a public servant, including as a U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. He was unanimously confirmed to that position. He has served as an Assistant Solicitor General at the Department of Justice, where he argued 12 cases before the Supreme Court and dozens more before the federal court of appeals. <br />He is someone who has provided constitutional advice to the President and executive branch as an attorney in the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel. And early in his career he served as a federal prosecutor, where he tried criminal and civil cases. He is someone who has a judicial philosophy that is based on strictly interpreting our Constitution and our laws, and not legislating from the bench. He has a deep commitment to the rule of law. <br />People have described him as someone who is thoughtful and fair-minded. He is someone who looks at the merits carefully and then applies the law. Judge Alito also understands that the proper role of the judicial branch is limited. The Supreme Court has a vital, but limited, role to play in our constitutional system. The President urges the Senate to move forward in a prompt manner to give him an up or down vote on the floor of the United States Senate. We believe this can be done by the end of the year, given his extensive public record and his 15 years on the bench for the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. <br />And with that, I'll be glad to go to your questions. <br /><br />Q Some Democrats say that the President should apologize for the role of some administration officials in the unmasking of the name of a CIA undercover operative. What's the White House reaction to that?<br /> <br />MR. McCLELLAN: First of all, there is a legal proceeding that continues right now, and under our legal system, there is a presumption of innocence. We need to let that legal process continue. If people want to try and politicize this process, that's their business.<br /> <br />Q Well, I think that the role of some administration officials in this, in the leaking of the person's name has been established.<br /> <br />MR. McCLELLAN: I think you're presuming things in that question, and I don't think while this investigation and this legal proceeding is ongoing, that we should make such presumptions. We should let that process continue.<br /> <br />Q Another part of that is, some of the same Democrats are saying that the President should fire Karl Rove. What's your reaction to that? <br /><br />MR. McCLELLAN: Again, there is an ongoing investigation; we need to let that investigation continue. We need to let the legal process work. As I indicated to you all on Friday, our Counsel's Office has directed us not to discuss this matter while it continues, and that means me not responding to questions about it from this podium. This is a process that we need to let continue. There is, as I said, a presumption of innocence in our legal system, and we don't want to do anything from here that could prejudice the opportunity for there to be a fair and impartial trial. I think that's the basis of our legal system. <br />And in terms of comments that people are making, again, I think they're presuming things and trying to politicize the process. But that's their business. We're going to let the legal process work. <br />Q Let me just follow up on an aspect of this and try it again here. On October 7, 2003, you were asked about a couple of the key players here, Karl Rove and Scooter Libby, as well as another administration official who has not figured in the investigation, so far as we know. And you said the following, <strong>"There are unsubstantiated accusations that are made, and that's exactly what happened in the case of these three individuals," including Rove and Libby. "They're good individuals, they're important members of our White House team, and that's why I spoke with them, so that I could come back to you and say that they were not involved." You were wrong then, weren't you? </strong><br /><br />MR. McCLELLAN: David, it's not a question of whether or not I'd like to talk more about this. I think I've indicated to you all that I'd be glad to talk about this once this process is complete, and I look forward to that opportunity. But, again, <strong>we have been directed by the White House Counsel's Office not to discuss this matter or respond to questions about it. </strong><br /><br />Q That was a public representation that was made to the American people. <br />MR. McCLELLAN: Hang on. We can have this conversation, but let me respond. <br />Q No, no, no, because it's such an artful dodge. Whether there's a question of legality -- <br />MR. McCLELLAN: No, I disagree with you. <br />Q Whether there's a question of legality, we know for a fact that there was involvement. We know that Karl Rove, based on what he and his lawyer have said, did have a conversation about somebody who Patrick Fitzgerald said was a covert officer of the Central Intelligence Agency. We know that Scooter Libby also had conversations. <br />MR. McCLELLAN: I don't think that's accurate. <br />Q So aside from the question of legality here, you were wrong, weren't you? <br />MR. McCLELLAN: Again, David, if I were to get into commenting from this podium while this legal proceeding continues, I might be prejudicing the opportunity for there to be a fair and impartial trial. And I'm just not going to do that. I know very -- <br />Q You speak for the President. Your credibility and his credibility is not on criminal trial. But it may very well be on trial with the American public, don't you agree? <br />MR. McCLELLAN: No, I'm very confident in the relationship that we have in this room, and the trust that has been established between us. This relationship -- <br />Q See those cameras? It's not about us. It's about what the American people -- <br />MR. McCLELLAN: This relationship is built on trust, and you know very well that I have worked hard to earn the trust of the people in this room, and I think I've earned it -- <br />Q Is the President -- let me just follow up on one more thing. <br />MR. McCLELLAN: -- and I think I've earned it with the American people. <br />Q Does the President think that Karl Rove did anything wrong? <br />MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I think it would be good for you to allow me the opportunity to respond to your questions without jumping in. I'm glad to do that. I look forward to the opportunity -- <br />Q I haven't heard a response. <br />MR. McCLELLAN: Well, no, I have been responding to you, David, and there's no need -- you're a good reporter, there's no need to be rude or disrespectful. We can have a conversation and respond to these questions, if you'll just give me the opportunity to respond. I'm glad to do that. <br />We need to let this legal process continue. The special counsel indicated the other day that it is ongoing. And that's what we're going to do from this White House. That's the policy that we have set for quite some time now. <br />Q In the year 2000, the President said the following: "In my administration, we will ask not only what is legal, but what is right; not just what the lawyers allow, but what the public deserves." Doesn't the American public deserve some answers from this President about the role of his Vice President in this story and what he knew and when he knew it, and how he feels about the conduct of his administration? <br />MR. McCLELLAN: The American people deserve a White House that is committed to doing their work. We are focused on the priorities of the American people. As the President indicated Friday, we've got a job to do, and we're going to do it.

The trial record confirms that Sirhan was an outstanding hypnotic subject who had been extensively hypnotized before the assassination. <br /><br />2. During pre-trial sessions in jail, Sirhan obeyed hypnotic commands to climb the bars of his cell like a monkey and had no memory of the programming which had just taken place in his cell. <br /><br />3. During such pre-trial sessions, Sirhan was asked in trance to describe Robert Kennedy and wrote out repetitions of such phrases as "RFK must die"--language strikingly similar to similarly repetitious writing in a notebook found in Sirhan's room at home. Dr. Spiegel concludes that the seemingly damning notebook passage was also written under hypnosis before the assassination. <br /><br />4. Sirhan shivered as though experiencing cold when coming out of trance in his cell, and he experienced the same symptoms immediately after the assassination. <br /><br />5. Sirhan was unable to reenact the assassination under hypnosis in his cell, suggesting that he had been programmed to forget. <br /><br />6. Although not a drinker, Sirhan inexplicably drank four Tom Collins hard liquor drinks right before the assassination and has continued to experience complete amnesia of the shooting in spite of hypnosis sessions to restore his memory. Use of alcohol in trance deepens the amnesia flowing from the trance experience. <br /><br />7. Sirhan had no motive to kill RFK and declared before trial that he would have voted for him in the election. <br /><br />8. Sirhan stated before trial that a girl had led him into a dark place at the hotel (the pantry assassination scene), at which time he blacked out and could remember nothing. When asked in trance whether anyone was with him, he wrote out, "girl the girl the girl" but then shut down when asked her name. A number of witnesses saw Sirhan with a young woman in a polka dot dress, and the LAPD intimidated the most notable of these witnesses into backing away from their observations. At trial, Sirhan testified that he met such a women at a coffee urn at the Ambassador Hotel and that she asked him to pour her a cup of coffee with a lot of cream and a lot of sugar. Sirhan then blacked out and regained consciousness when being attacked by enraged RFK supporters in the pantry after Kennedy's shooting. Sirhan has consistently maintained that he has no memory of having shot anyone. <br /><br />9. Sirhan's lack of motive to kill RFK forced prosecutors and a cooperative defense to make up a motive. Prosecutors theorized that Sirhan came to hate RFK because of his support for President Johnson's plan to sell 50 U.S. Phantom jets to Israel. This theory was based upon the fact that the key notebook page containing the RFK Must Die language is dated May 18, 1968. Lawyers on both sides conceded that Sirhan heard a broadcast about RFK's support for the Phantom Jet sale on that date. In fact, the broadcast in the Los Angeles area referring to RFK's support for Israel came later, and it made no mention of the planned Phantom Jet sale. The Phantom Jet motive was in fact a phantom motive. All presidential candidates supported the planned jet sale. RFK and Nixon sharply differed on Vietnam, and this is where the RFK assassination actually changed the course of U.S. foreign policy by leading to Nixon's prolonged escalation and expansion instead of RFK's promised withdrawal. <br /><br />10. Someone followed Sirhan into the Corona Police Department gun range on June 1, 1968, and signed Sirhan's name in the roster, creating a record that Sirhan was practicing before the assassination of June 5. The range master who observed this apparent "handler" was a Corona police officer who was not called by the prosecution at trial. The officer was purportedly out of town when the issue arose at trial, and the defense was never told about his observations. <br /><br />11. On primary election day, June 4, 1968, Sirhan signed the roster of another gun range several names below the name of "LAPD Officer Lee"--an odd setting for a dry run of an assassination that night but an innocuous setting for what Sirhan regarded as recreational shooting. Sirhan would later state that he was climbing the bars of his cell like a monkey simply because he wanted to do so and rejected the suggestion that he was complying with a signal which he had just been instructed under hypnosis to obey by performing this act. <br /><br />12. A stage hypnotist has advised that Sirhan volunteered to be a subject during a public demonstration two years before the assassination and that at that time, Sirhan appeared to have been hypnotized before and was an excellent hypnotic subject. Sirhan could have been spotted and targeted by this means. <br /><br />Defenders of the prosecution assert that Sirhan admitted at trial to having shot RFK. Actually, Sirhan testified that he had no memory of having shot anyone but that he was told by his attorneys that this is what happened and that this is accordingly what must have happened. Incredibly, defense attorney Grant Cooper allowed prosecution psychiatrist Seymour Pollack to interview and hypnotize Sirhan both with and outside the presence of defense counsel! The tape of one such session discloses that psychiatrists attempted to coerce Sirhan into reenacting the RFK assassination under hypnosis. The attempt failed. <br /><br />Defenders of the prosecution also point to Sirhan's "admission" at trial that he<br /><br /> <strong>"killed Robert Kennedy wilfully, premeditatively, with twenty years malice aforethought." </strong><br /><br />What they fail to mention is that this remark was simply an outburst by Sirhan during a dispute with defense attorney Grant Cooper about the calling of witnesses. When the judge admonished Sirhan that his attorney was in charge of the case, Sirhan purported to offer to plead guilty and made the above-quoted remark. Such an outburst proves nothing, of course. <br /><strong>In fact, Sirhan did not even know of Robert F. Kennedy twenty years before the trial and would have been a small child at the time</strong>.Samuel Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09298532266546345292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11792773.post-1129694787160307282005-10-18T21:05:00.000-07:002005-10-18T21:06:27.176-07:00sirhan sirhan...the hypnotized republican stoogeSIRHAN SIRHAN: A TRUE "MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE"<br />by Lawrence Teeter<br />Attorney for Sirhan Sirhan<br /><br />Sirhan Sirhan was wrongfully convicted of the June 5, 1968 assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy ("RFK"). Sirhan was a true "Manchurian Candidate." He was programmed through hypnosis to fire shots in the presence of Senator Kennedy without knowing what he was doing and without being able to recall or explain his actions or the programming process. Operatives connected with the CIA's MKULTRA program and Operation Artichoke could well have accomplished this remarkable instance of life imitating film. What follows is a discussion of evidence demonstrating Sirhan's status as a true "Manchurian Candidate" and a discussion of why this exonerating information did not come out at trial.<br /><br />I have represented Sirhan since 1994 in ongoing state and federal habeas corpus proceedings challenging his conviction along with efforts to obtain his release on parole. Sirhan Sirhan is innocent. He did not shoot Robert F. Kennedy, and he was set up to appear to be guilty. His trial was a show trial designed to cover up the vast right-wing conspiracy which staged what amounted to the forcible installation of a Republican president in 1968. Richard Nixon's presidency became possible because of the RFK assassination. It is generally agreed that but for his assassination, Senator Robert F. Kennedy would have won the Democratic Party nomination and would have defeated Richard Nixon in the general election. Senator Kennedy had promised to end the Vietnam war if elected to the presidency. The anti-war movement had forced President Johnson to withdraw as a candidate for reelection, and Johnson's Vice-President, Hubert Humphrey, almost defeated Nixon after the assassination once he began to distance himself from Johnson's pro-war policies. Once he was elected, Nixon escalated and expanded the war into other countries. <br /><br />The trial of Sirhan was designed to conceal Sirhan's innocence. This was possible because prior to the trial, the prosecution blackmailed Sirhan's trial attorney into throwing the case. What followed was a classic show trial in which the prosecution and "defense" conspired to falsify reality and cover up a massive plot to block the election of Senator Robert F. Kennedy to the presidency. Two months before the RFK assassination, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was killed in Memphis after having announced opposition to the Vietnam war and vowing to unite the anti-war and civil rights movements. <br /><br />FEDERAL AGENCIES BEGAN THE COVER-UP EVEN<br />BEFORE THE ASSASSINATION<br /><br />The blackmailing of chief Sirhan defense attorney Grant Cooper arises from the pre-assassination activities of John Roselli, who was involved in the CIA's plot to assassinate Fidel Castro. The CIA recruited Roselli to involve other top Mafia figures in the plot to kill Castro so that the U.S. government could deny responsibility for the assassination, which was being orchestrated in response to Castro's nationalization of U.S. corporate and Mafia holdings in Cuba. In 1966, after those assassination operations were supposedly abandoned, FBI agents approached Roselli and confronted him with the fact that he and his mother had entered the United States under false names. Roselli was told that the FBI would keep this information secret if he would cooperate with that agency. Roselli's lawyer, James Cantillon, called the FBI agents and attempted to set up a meeting. Agents told Cantillon that they would not meet with Roselli if Cantillon were present and refused to tell Cantillon what they wished to discuss. Roselli then met with the FBI outside Cantillon's presence. In January of 1968, Roselli participated in bribing a court reporter and obtained secret grand jury transcripts in the then-pending Friars Club card cheating trial, in which Roselli was a defendant. Roselli then distributed these transcripts to defense counsel in the case, including his own lawyer, James Cantillon. Another attorney to whom the transcripts were illegally distributed as a direct result of actions by Roselli and his confederates was Grant Cooper. <br /><br />After the RFK assassination on June 5, 1968, Grant Cooper agreed to represent Sirhan. (Cooper had been recommended by ACLU attorney A.L. Wirin, who had earlier publicly defended the Warren Commission Report--a document which asserted that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by one person acting alone and that no conspiracy was involved.) The prosecutor in the Friars Club case then promptly purported to discover one of these stolen transcripts lying atop Cooper's papers at counsel table--a location to which Roselli had access as a co-defendant of Cooper's client in that case. Documents available at the California State Archives include a December 23, 1968 LAPD memo stating that Cooper's indictment was anticipated within the next one or two days. Another such document is a January 3, 1969 memo reporting that a senior FBI agent was monitoring Cooper's "dilemma." On January 6, 1969, Cooper then advised the Sirhan trial judge that he might be indicted but that after speaking with U.S. Attorney William Matthew Byrne, Jr., he concluded that his indictment was inconceivable. (Byrne was part of an inter-agency task force on the RFK assassination case). Warren Commission apologist Wirin appeared in the judge's chambers that day to advise Sirhan that he should continue being represented by Cooper--even though Wirin would certainly have recognized that Cooper suffered from a dangerous conflict of interest because he faced possible indictment by an agency participating in the prosecution team. 1 Having avoided possible discharge by Sirhan with the help of Wirin and a silent trial judge, Cooper then threw the case (see below) and assisted the prosecution in covering up the RFK assassination conspiracy. After Sirhan's conviction and death verdict, Cooper was allowed to plead guilty to two counts of contempt, but U.S. Attorney Byrne wrote a sentencing memorandum stating that Cooper's crime was so serious that no sentencing recommendation would be made! Cooper was simply ordered to pay a $1000 fine. Roselli, a defendant in the Friars Club case and in an immigration fraud case, was not even indicted in the transcripts case and received a light sentence in the immigration matter involving his concealment of his true name upon entry into the country. Roselli remained in contact with CIA officials involved in the early 1960's plot to murder Fidel Castro even after the 1968 RFK assassination. Roselli lawyer James Cantillon, who could have defended himself by claiming that he was entrapped by the FBI and Roselli into taking the transcripts, was never charged with possessing them, and the far more limited case against him (failing to respond to the court's inquiry regarding the transcripts) was dismissed by the court. <br /><br />THE MASSIVE OFFICIAL COVER-UP<br /><br />As a result of both (1) the blackmailing of defense attorney Cooper and his resultant collaboration with the prosecution and (2) the systematic withholding and falsification of evidence by the prosecution, the jury which convicted Sirhan never knew the following: <br /><br />1. Senator Kennedy was shot in the back and from behind. Yet all witnesses placed Sirhan as standing face-to-face in front of RFK. <br /><br />2. Sirhan's gun was placed by all witnesses at between 2 and 5 feet from the victim, but the autopsy report states that the distance between the assailant's gun and the victim was between 1 and 2 inches. <br /><br />3. The shots entering the victim's body were fired at a sharp upward angle, but the defendant was seen by all witnesses to hold his gun horizontally.<br /><br />4. The autopsy report which exonerates the defendant was withheld from the court and the defense by prosecutors for at least four months, until after defense counsel had conceded to the jury that their client was the killer--something which the autopsy report demonstrates to be impossible. <br /><br />5. Thane Eugene Cesar, a recently-hired part-time private security guard who worked full-time for Lockheed Aircraft, admitted to police that he was standing behind and in actual contact with Senator Kennedy, that he dropped down into a crouching position and that he pulled his gun when the shooting began. This account puts the security guard and not the defendant in position to have shot RFK. <br /><br />6. Cesar falsely advised police that he had sold his .22 revolver before the crime. A receipt proves that it was actually sold after the crime. One witness, media assistant Don Schulman, stated that Cesar actually fired his gun during the assassination. The prosecution ignored and even pressured this witness along with others whose accounts suggested a conspiracy. <br /><br />7. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) never test fired Cesar's gun or even asked to see it once Cesar admitted having been in position to have fired the shots which struck RFK. The FBI was later told that the gun had been stolen from the home of the person who purchased it from Cesar. <br /><br />8. The police inventory accounted for eight .22 cal. bullets discharged at the crime scene. Seven were removed from victims, and the eighth was described as having been lost in the ceiling. <br />A police officer observed police criminalists dig two bullets out of a door frame in the pantry area within which the victim was killed, bringing to 10 the total number of shots that were fired during the attack. <br /><br />9. These extra bullets were never disclosed to the defense or the court and were never mentioned in the police property report. The police and prosecution have continued to deny their existence. <br /><br />10. FBI documents describe holes depicted in the pantry door frame as "bullet holes", and William Bailey, the first FBI agent on the scene, has stated that he saw a bullet in one such hole. An AP photograph shows a bullet lodged in a door frame. <br /><br />11. The police continue to maintain that only one gun was fired during the attack. The FBI has never deviated from its endorsement of this view, which is inconsistent with its own photographs and inventory as well as the observations of the first FBI agent on the crime scene. <br /><br />12. The police test fired two different weapons and obtained test shots from both but have continued to claim that only one gun was involved in the case. <br /><br />13. A police photograph with the police "DR number" for this case shows a different weapon than the one introduced into evidence at trial. <br /><br />14. The second gun that was test fired by police as though it had been recovered at the crime scene was in police custody even before the attack. <br /><br />15. The police continued to claim that this gun was available to the defense during the trial. However, it was actually destroyed by police within less than 2 months after the assassination, long before the trial's commencement. <br /><br />16. The police created a "comparison photomicrograph" ("Special Exhibit 10") which they claimed showed a match between a test bullet fired from the defendant's gun and the bullet that was removed from the murder victim's neck. In 1975, a panel of experts concluded that this photomicrograph showed a match between two different victim bullets. A report prepared during this 1975 examination proves that the bullets viewed by the experts at that time were actually different from the ones that were removed from the victims in this case. Thus, the police created a photograph showing a match between two fake victim bullets and then claimed that their exhibit proved the defendant's guilt. This photograph depicting fraudulent bullets was made less than 48 hours after the assassination. <br /><br />17. Although security guards left the scene without their guns being checked, a 15 year old who photographed the attack was thrown to the ground and arrested at gun point. His camera and film were seized. No photographs of the attack were ever made available to the defense or the court. (When the photographer, James Scott Enyart, requested the return of his films from the State Archives 20 years later, he was told that his films were probably among 2,410 photographs connected with this case that were burned by police in a hospital incinerator less than 3 months after the attack. Enyart brought suit. Police investigators then claimed to have themselves found the young photographer's pictures at the Archives. Because these photographs did not show the shooting itself and were taken on film different from the film he used, the photographer requested their transport to Los Angeles so that they could be examined for possible signs of alteration or substitution. The suspect photographs then disappeared after supposedly being stolen from the car of a state-selected courier. A Los Angeles jury awarded the photographer over half a million dollars in a verdict. The verdict was successfully appealed, but the City settled rather than risk a retrial.) <br /><br />Apologists for the prosecution like to assert that only honest mistakes were made. Yet our petitions and exhibits demonstrate a number of instances in which the prosecution and police engaged in demonstrably intentional misconduct. Here are some examples--in addition to the overriding fact that defense counsel was blackmailed by the prosecution and made a deal to save himself (see above): <br /><br />1. Withholding a document showing that according to a police officer witness, someone followed Sirhan into a police firing range on June 1, 1968 (three days before election day) and signed Sirhan's name into the roster to show practice-firing by the fall-guy-to-be! In other words, Sirhan had a handler (see below). The defense never saw this document, which I found in 2002. <br /><br />2. Concocting Special Exhibit 10; (See paragraph 16 above). <br /><br />3. Withholding the autopsy report until after defense counsel had conceded Sirhan's status as the assassin--a concession that is refuted by the autopsy report itself; <br /><br />4. Lying to the court in December of 1968 by falsely representing that the autopsy report, which was completed in September or October of 1968, was not yet available; <br /><br />5. Incinerating 2,410 assassination-related photographs;<br /><br />6. Suppressing a photograph of a second gun connected with this case;<br /><br />7. Suppressing extra bullets removed from the crime scene door frames, door jam and possibly ceiling panels;<br /><br />8. Destroying the pantry door frames, door jam and ceiling panels before Sirhan's appeal process even commenced;<br /><br />9. After admitting in the judge's chambers that the prosecution could not authenticate the bullets supposedly involved in the crime, offering substitute bullets into evidence, without disclosing that they were fraudulent (see paragraph 16 above).<br /><br />10. Destroying the second gun during the month after the assassination and then suppressing the fact of this destruction;<br /><br />11. Test firing the second gun as a crime scene weapon and then suppressing the fact that test bullets used for police identification purposes were the result of this test firing. <br /><br />12. Withholding the entire Sheriff's Department file on this case from the defense prior to and during the trial;<br /><br />13. Withholding from the defense the vast bulk of the LAPD and FBI files on this case;<br /><br />14. Offering into evidence a gun that was never identified as Sirhan's by any witness and which was materially different from the weapon observed in Sirhan's possession at a gun range on election day by the only witness to describe Sirhan's gun with any specificity.<br /><br />I have listed only some of the instances in which the prosecution intentionally and deliberately suppressed, altered, destroyed or fabricated material evidence prior to, during or immediately following the trial. There are many acts of misconduct which have taken place during and since that time. <br />SIRHAN WAS SET UP AND IS COMPLETELY INNOCENT<br />Overwhelming evidence establishes that Sirhan was in a hypnotic trance during the assassination as a result of programming. World renowned hypnosis expert Herbert Spiegel, M.D., a New York psychiatrist who teaches at Columbia University, has cited the following facts in support of this conclusion: <br /><br />1. The trial record confirms that Sirhan was an outstanding hypnotic subject who had been extensively hypnotized before the assassination. <br /><br />2. During pre-trial sessions in jail, Sirhan obeyed hypnotic commands to climb the bars of his cell like a monkey and had no memory of the programming which had just taken place in his cell. <br /><br />3. During such pre-trial sessions, Sirhan was asked in trance to describe Robert Kennedy and wrote out repetitions of such phrases as "RFK must die"--language strikingly similar to similarly repetitious writing in a notebook found in Sirhan's room at home. Dr. Spiegel concludes that the seemingly damning notebook passage was also written under hypnosis before the assassination. <br /><br />4. Sirhan shivered as though experiencing cold when coming out of trance in his cell, and he experienced the same symptoms immediately after the assassination. <br /><br />5. Sirhan was unable to reenact the assassination under hypnosis in his cell, suggesting that he had been programmed to forget. <br /><br />6. Although not a drinker, Sirhan inexplicably drank four Tom Collins hard liquor drinks right before the assassination and has continued to experience complete amnesia of the shooting in spite of hypnosis sessions to restore his memory. Use of alcohol in trance deepens the amnesia flowing from the trance experience. <br /><br />7. Sirhan had no motive to kill RFK and declared before trial that he would have voted for him in the election. <br /><br />8. Sirhan stated before trial that a girl had led him into a dark place at the hotel (the pantry assassination scene), at which time he blacked out and could remember nothing. When asked in trance whether anyone was with him, he wrote out, "girl the girl the girl" but then shut down when asked her name. A number of witnesses saw Sirhan with a young woman in a polka dot dress, and the LAPD intimidated the most notable of these witnesses into backing away from their observations. At trial, Sirhan testified that he met such a women at a coffee urn at the Ambassador Hotel and that she asked him to pour her a cup of coffee with a lot of cream and a lot of sugar. Sirhan then blacked out and regained consciousness when being attacked by enraged RFK supporters in the pantry after Kennedy's shooting. Sirhan has consistently maintained that he has no memory of having shot anyone. <br /><br />9. Sirhan's lack of motive to kill RFK forced prosecutors and a cooperative defense to make up a motive. Prosecutors theorized that Sirhan came to hate RFK because of his support for President Johnson's plan to sell 50 U.S. Phantom jets to Israel. This theory was based upon the fact that the key notebook page containing the RFK Must Die language is dated May 18, 1968. Lawyers on both sides conceded that Sirhan heard a broadcast about RFK's support for the Phantom Jet sale on that date. In fact, the broadcast in the Los Angeles area referring to RFK's support for Israel came later, and it made no mention of the planned Phantom Jet sale. The Phantom Jet motive was in fact a phantom motive. All presidential candidates supported the planned jet sale. RFK and Nixon sharply differed on Vietnam, and this is where the RFK assassination actually changed the course of U.S. foreign policy by leading to Nixon's prolonged escalation and expansion instead of RFK's promised withdrawal. <br /><br />10. Someone followed Sirhan into the Corona Police Department gun range on June 1, 1968, and signed Sirhan's name in the roster, creating a record that Sirhan was practicing before the assassination of June 5. The range master who observed this apparent "handler" was a Corona police officer who was not called by the prosecution at trial. The officer was purportedly out of town when the issue arose at trial, and the defense was never told about his observations. <br /><br />11. On primary election day, June 4, 1968, Sirhan signed the roster of another gun range several names below the name of "LAPD Officer Lee"--an odd setting for a dry run of an assassination that night but an innocuous setting for what Sirhan regarded as recreational shooting. Sirhan would later state that he was climbing the bars of his cell like a monkey simply because he wanted to do so and rejected the suggestion that he was complying with a signal which he had just been instructed under hypnosis to obey by performing this act. <br /><br />12. A stage hypnotist has advised that Sirhan volunteered to be a subject during a public demonstration two years before the assassination and that at that time, Sirhan appeared to have been hypnotized before and was an excellent hypnotic subject. Sirhan could have been spotted and targeted by this means. <br /><br />Defenders of the prosecution assert that Sirhan admitted at trial to having shot RFK.

Incredibly, defense attorney Grant Cooper allowed prosecution psychiatrist Seymour Pollack to interview and hypnotize Sirhan both with and outside the presence of defense counsel! The tape of one such session discloses that psychiatrists attempted to coerce Sirhan into reenacting the RFK assassination under hypnosis. The attempt failed. <br /><br />Defenders of the prosecution also point to Sirhan's "admission" at trial that he "killed Robert Kennedy wilfully, premeditatively, with twenty years malice aforethought." What they fail to mention is that this remark was simply an outburst by Sirhan during a dispute with defense attorney Grant Cooper about the calling of witnesses. When the judge admonished Sirhan that his attorney was in charge of the case, Sirhan purported to offer to plead guilty and made the above-quoted remark. Such an outburst proves nothing, of course. In fact, Sirhan did not even know of Robert F. Kennedy twenty years before the trial and would have been a small child at the time. <br /><br />DEFENSE COUNSEL'S ROLE AS A SECOND PROSECUTOR<br /><br /><br />1. Cooper advised the jury that Sirhan shot and killed RFK, thereby leaving Sirhan open to the death penalty. He did this even before he saw the autopsy report, which proved otherwise. Even after having finally been given the autopsy report, Cooper continued to concede that Sirhan was RFK's killer. The autopsy report establishes that Sirhan was out of position and out of range and could not have fired any of the shots which struck the Senator. <br />2. Aware of the autopsy report's contents long before revealing it to the defense, the prosecution knew that Sirhan was actually not even eligible for the death penalty under then-applicable law. <br />Prosecutors knew that a trial risked exposure of someone else's responsibility for the shooting and killing of RFK. Los Angeles County District Attorney Evelle Younger, whose office actually prosecuted Sirhan, therefore offered Sirhan a chance to plead guilty to murder without facing the risk of the death penalty. <br />Cooper told Sirhan, who knew nothing about the crime, that the prosecution had an open-and-shut case against him and that he should accept the prosecution's offer. When the judge advised that he would refuse to approve any such plea unless the prosecution remained free to ask for a death verdict, Cooper went on record as advising the court that he was in favor of a guilty plea even under such circumstances, which gave Sirhan nothing in exchange for pleading guilty to a murder he could not have committed. <br /><br />3. Prosecutors told Cooper during a hearing in the judge's chambers that it was impossible to authenticate bullets in the case. Cooper responded that he had no objection to the use of such bullets as evidence. This cleared the way for the prosecution to present testimony by LAPD criminalist DeWayne Wolfer that test bullets from the so-called Sirhan revolver conclusively matched victim bullets in the case. Cooper could have blocked or at least countered such testimony by pointing out that the bullets were inauthentic. <br /><br />4. Cooper ignored the avalanche of evidence pointing toward Sirhan's having been programmed through hypnosis to fire shots in an unconscious state without recalling anything, He also assisted the prosecution's presentation of its "phantom" motive and argued that Sirhan planned the attack but was a paranoid schizophrenic and deserved to be convicted of second degree murder. Sirhan Sirhan was convicted and sentenced to death by a jury which was told by the compromised "defense" team that Sirhan was a paranoid schizophrenic rather than a victim of mind-control manipulation by others. Schizophrenics have a very low level of hypnotizability, in dramatic contrast to Sirhan Sirhan, whom Dr. Spiegel describes as a "hypnosis virtuoso." <br /><br />The California Supreme Court reversed the death verdict after having previously held in another case that California's then-pending death penalty statute was unconstitutional. However, the Court left intact Sirhan's conviction. Sirhan Sirhan has remained in custody since 1968, and his requests for release on parole have been consistently denied. Although a number of witnesses saw other guns and shooters at the time, the official version remains that the case is solved and closed. No one else has ever been arrested or considered a suspect by the police. <br /><br />It should be noted that after Sirhan's conviction, William Matthew Byrne, Jr., the U.S. Attorney who participated in Sirhan's prosecution and whose office's actions relating to Cooper are described above, was nominated to the federal bench by President Nixon. 2 Judge Byrne remains a sitting senior judge in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, where Sirhan's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus remains pending. As things stand now, Sirhan's extensive challenge to his conviction will be initially decided by a magistrate judge. All magistrate judges serve at the pleasure of the district judges, one of whom is Judge Byrne. Efforts to transfer the case in the interests of justice are continuing but have so far been unsuccessful. <br /><br />Incredibly, the "Manchurian Candidate" aspect of the case was never presented on Sirhan's behalf in any proceeding until I became his attorney, years after his conviction and years after that conviction was affirmed on direct appeal. This is also true of most of the evidence discussed above, including the all-important role of the U.S. government in blackmailing Grant Cooper and turning him into a second prosecutor. <br /><br />The fight to reopen Sirhan's case and win his freedom continues in ongoing legal proceedings. What you have just read is an extremely brief summary of points raised in Sirhan's case. These and other points are supported by documentary evidence on file with the California Supreme Court and the United States District Court for the Central District of California. <br /><br />I am frequently asked, "Who was behind the assassination?" First, it is well known that the CIA had perfected the technique of using hypnosis and drugs to program subjects to carry out criminal acts, including murder, without being able to recall the acts or the programming process. The CIA programs through which these techniques were perfected were MKULTRA and Operation Artichoke. The U.S. Military had similar programs in place at the time. The RFK assassination made possible a continuation of the Vietnam War, a pet project of the CIA and the Pentagon. Secondly, Sirhan's role as an innocent man was never brought out at trial due to the fact that Sirhan's chief lawyer had been blackmailed by federal agencies in a scheme which began even before the assassination. This is far more sinister than film fantasies which portray federal agencies as trying to stop a right wing coup. In the RFK case, federal agencies laid the foundations for a cover-up even before the assassination took place and then made certain--together with local "law enforcement"--that a trial would not expose the truth. <br /> <br />Footnotes: <br />1. A number of ACLU attorneys served as FBI informants, and one personally reported to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. <br />2. As a matter of historical interest, it is worthy of note that President Nixon then offered Judge Byrne the position of FBI Director. This job offer was extended during Judge Byrne's handling of the celebrated "Pentagon Papers"" case against Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo. The Pentagon Papers consisted of a secret study describing war crimes and extensive human rights abuses carried out by the United States in Vietnam, and their publication in the "New York Times" enraged Nixon and further discredited his attempt to justify his continuation, excalation and expansion of the Vietnam war. Accordingly, the administration charged Ellsberg and Russo with espionage for giving this study to the press. When the job offer and other acts of government misconduct were finally disclosed by the prosecution, the case was dismissed in response to a defense motion. Other acts of misconduct included White House involvement in a burglary targeting the office of Ellsberg's psychiatrist and the cover-up of this burglary. The burglary and cover-up then became one basis for Articles of Impeachment adopted by the House Judiciary Committee forcing Nixon's resignation as president. Missing from both the Articles of Impeachment and Judge Byrne's order listing grounds for dismissing the Ellsberg-Russo indictment was Nixon's offer during the trial to appoint Judge Byrne to the position of Director of the FBI.Samuel Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09298532266546345292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11792773.post-1129694316897559962005-10-18T20:49:00.000-07:002005-10-18T21:04:16.286-07:00"a real manchurian candidate"Loved Ones...my uncle was the host of the TODAY SHOW...Frank McGee...he was neutralized by Republican contractors because of his locating those contractors associated with the Bobby Kennedy murder and killing of Martin Luther King...please take the time to read this and learn about the Republican Party which at present protects big Dick and g.w.....<br /><br />Reopen the RFK (Robert F. Kennedy) Assassination Case<br />Sirhan Sirhan is Not Guilty. <br /> <br />This is the official site of Lawrence Teeter, attorney for Sirhan Sirhan.<br />On June 5, 1968, United States Presidential candidate Robert Kennedy was murdered. Sirhan Sirhan was arrested and later wrongfully convicted for the murder. Lawrence Teeter became Sirhan Sirhan's attorney in 1994, over 25 years later. <br />Lawrence Teeter states: <br />"At first glance, the RFK case seems open and shut. After all, Sirhan Sirhan was arrested with a gun in hand at the scene. There the simplicity ends, however. There is an abundance of evidence which refutes the official version of this crime. The Sirhan Sirhan case should be reopened." <br />SIRHAN SIRHAN: A TRUE "MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE"<br />by Lawrence Teeter<br />Attorney for Sirhan Sirhan<br /><br />Sirhan Sirhan was wrongfully convicted of the June 5, 1968 assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy ("RFK"). Sirhan was a true "Manchurian Candidate." He was programmed through hypnosis to fire shots in the presence of Senator Kennedy without knowing what he was doing and without being able to recall or explain his actions or the programming process. Operatives connected with the CIA's MKULTRA program and Operation Artichoke could well have accomplished this remarkable instance of life imitating film. What follows is a discussion of evidence demonstrating Sirhan's status as a true "Manchurian Candidate" and a discussion of why this exonerating information did not come out at trial.<br /><br />I have represented Sirhan since 1994 in ongoing state and federal habeas corpus proceedings challenging his conviction along with efforts to obtain his release on parole. Sirhan Sirhan is innocent. He did not shoot Robert F. Kennedy, and he was set up to appear to be guilty. His trial was a show trial designed to cover up the vast right-wing conspiracy which staged what amounted to the forcible installation of a Republican president in 1968. Richard Nixon's presidency became possible because of the RFK assassination. It is generally agreed that but for his assassination, Senator Robert F. Kennedy would have won the Democratic Party nomination and would have defeated Richard Nixon in the general election. Senator Kennedy had promised to end the Vietnam war if elected to the presidency. The anti-war movement had forced President Johnson to withdraw as a candidate for reelection, and Johnson's Vice-President, Hubert Humphrey, almost defeated Nixon after the assassination once he began to distance himself from Johnson's pro-war policies. Once he was elected, Nixon escalated and expanded the war into other countries. <br /><br />The trial of Sirhan was designed to conceal Sirhan's innocence. This was possible because prior to the trial, the prosecution blackmailed Sirhan's trial attorney into throwing the case. What followed was a classic show trial in which the prosecution and "defense" conspired to falsify reality and cover up a massive plot to block the election of Senator Robert F. Kennedy to the presidency. Two months before the RFK assassination, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was killed in Memphis after having announced opposition to the Vietnam war and vowing to unite the anti-war and civil rights movements. <br /><br />FEDERAL AGENCIES BEGAN THE COVER-UP EVEN<br />BEFORE THE ASSASSINATION<br /><br />The blackmailing of chief Sirhan defense attorney Grant Cooper arises from the pre-assassination activities of John Roselli, who was involved in the CIA's plot to assassinate Fidel Castro. The CIA recruited Roselli to involve other top Mafia figures in the plot to kill Castro so that the U.S. government could deny responsibility for the assassination, which was being orchestrated in response to Castro's nationalization of U.S. corporate and Mafia holdings in Cuba. In 1966, after those assassination operations were supposedly abandoned, FBI agents approached Roselli and confronted him with the fact that he and his mother had entered the United States under false names. Roselli was told that the FBI would keep this information secret if he would cooperate with that agency. Roselli's lawyer, James Cantillon, called the FBI agents and attempted to set up a meeting. Agents told Cantillon that they would not meet with Roselli if Cantillon were present and refused to tell Cantillon what they wished to discuss. Roselli then met with the FBI outside Cantillon's presence. In January of 1968, Roselli participated in bribing a court reporter and obtained secret grand jury transcripts in the then-pending Friars Club card cheating trial, in which Roselli was a defendant. Roselli then distrib
